A/NHi guys! Sorry I haven't posted my update for so long, been kind of busy. But look on the bright side, at least it's not just an author's note

Percy

Okay, so I got caught, what else is new?

Hades grew into his full size and glowered at me like I just stole his symbols of power. His mere presence had already sent shivers down my spine. But I didn't want to give hime the pleasure of seeing me scared, so I stood my ground and began to think of some threatening thing to say. After some self-deliberation, I came up with the perfect response.

"Hi Uncle" I tried a smile.

Okay, so that's not exactly the most threatening statement but it's something.

"Dad, this isn't what it looks like-"Nico started

"Silence!" Hades growled. "I'll deal with you later."

"And you…" he turned to me."You trespass into my domain, bathe in one of my sacred rivers and you dare say hi to me?"

"Why? Did you want me to say hello instead? "

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have said but if I couldn't intimidate him the least I could do was annoy him.

"Dad please, this isn't Percy's fault. I was the one who-"

"I said enough. GO TO YOUR ROOM!"

In the blink of an eye Nico was gone and a wisp of black smoke rose from where he once stood. If Hades didn't say 'go to your room' I might've thought he'd just disintegrated his own son.

"And YOU" Hades grudgingly said as he turned to me. "I don't know what I'm going to do with you yet. But I'll make sure you rot in my dungeon for the rest of your miserable life!"

A shroud of darkness swallowed me. I felt as if I got sucked into a black hole. I don't know how long I shadow travelled but it felt like an eternity. Moments later, I found myself sitting in a padded cell with no doors or windows. I was officially trapped.

Nico

"AHHHHHH!" I screamed in frustration.

It had been at least an hour since I was unwillingly teleported into my room. I'd tried everything, from banging the door to shadow travelling, but it seems my dad did a pretty good job of sealing me in.

There has to be a way out I thought to myself. I couldn't stay here. I have to get me and Percy out before the Titans attack. Plus, I still have to collect my payment from Poseidon.

I began thinking of other means of escape but they all required skills I didn't have. I was about to give up when it hit me. If I could get word out about what happened to us people would come and rescue us. I know that doesn't sound like the makings of a great hero but every now and then everyone needs help. I rummage through my pockets to see if I still had any drachmas left. I use to have a ton of it since my dad was lord of the underworld, where all gold silver and other stuff are found, and all.

"Yes!" I cried with delight. Now, all I need is a rainbow. I know there aren't many rainbows in the land of the dead. But I'm sure I can work something out.

Annabeth

I met with the Stoll brothers at the big house to discuss my plans to defend Olympus. The plan was simple, get airplanes and equip them with our weapons. But by the looks on their face I think they didn't understand a word I ju8st said.

"Can you do it?"

"Could you run that by me again?" Travis said. "I just want to make sure I'm not hallucinating."

"I said 'I need you to steal a squadron of world war two fighter planes."

"Who are you and what have you done with Annabeth?" Conner joked

I rolled my eyes "Look, I don't really like stealing but given the circumstances we don't have a choice. We really need these planes. It'll give us several adva- "

"We get it! Save the pep talk for your siblings." Travis cut me off. "But why does it have to be World War 2 planes? Why not just get modern planes? Plus, where can we find them?"

"We need to use World War 2 planes because they're slower and it's easier for you guys to pilot." I continued. "You could try the Smithsonian or the National museum of the USAF, or- you know what just try all the big museums."

"Alright" Connor said. "Say we find them, how do we know if those old planes will still work?"

"That's why Beckendorf's going with you. He's already working on something for those planes."

All of a sudden, Beckendorf burst into the big house. He had this crazy grin on his face, the one he always has when he'd invented something spectacular.

"Annabeth you need to see this!"

"See what?"

He didn't even respond to my question and just dragged me out of the Big House. After a brief walk I found myself standing in front of the canoe lake. Michael Yew of the Apollo cabin was waiting for us, along with a slumbering sea serpent they'd summoned.

"This was what you wanted to show me?" I asked Beckendorf motioning towards the monster

"Not that, this" he showed me a mortal's arrow.

"You brought me out here to show me an arrow?"

"This no ordinary arrow" Beckendorf started. "Watch"

He handed it to Michael and he aimed it straight at the monster. I was curious with what the arrow could do against a seas serpent. Michael managed to lodge the arrow under one of its scales. A few seconds later the sea serpent burst into green flames and crumbled to dust.

"Okay, what was THAT?" I asked incredulously.

"Just Beckendorf's latest creation. "Michael replied with a grin.

Beckendorf handed me another arrow that looked like the one Michael just shot. I made a quick scan and observed one small difference. On the celestial arrow head, there was some sort of green liquid.

"Is that Greek fire?"

"Yeah"Beckendorf said "I've been working on that since last summer. I'm not gonna get all technical with you, basically, the Greek fire is triggered and injected once it hits the monster. It's pretty effective as you can see, plus we only need small amounts of celestial bronze."

Possibilities began racing through my brain. We could equip the planes and our archers with these. We could wipe out a significant portion of the Titan's army

"How fast can you make these?"

"I could have ten thousand arrows in roughly a week. We're working on a new machine that'll pick up the pace." Beckendorf said. "We could really use your help."

"i-"

"Annabeth!" Someone called.

Malcolm came sprinting towards me. He paused to catch his breath and then he raised his finger

"Someone's looking for you." He caught his breath

"Who?"

"I don't know, said her name was Rachel Elizabeth Dare."
